Example Data & Programs

mcetl comes with the ability to generate raw data to emulate several different materials characterization techniques. Further, example programs are available to show basic usage of mcetl.

Generating Example Data

Files for example data from characterization techniques can be created using:

from mcetl import raw_data
raw_data.generate_raw_data()

Data produced by the generate_raw_data function covers the following characterization techniques:

• X-ray diffraction (XRD)

• Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)

• Raman spectroscopy

• Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)

• Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)

• Rheometry

• Uniaxial tensile tests

• Pore size measurements

Example Programs

Example programs are available to show basic usage of mcetl. The examples include:

• Generating raw data

• Using the main GUI

• Using the fitting GUI

• Using the plotting GUI

• Reopening a figure saved with the plotting GUI

The example program for using the main GUI contains all necessary inputs for processing the example raw data generated by the generate_raw_data function as described above and is an excellent resource for creating new DataSource objects.
